Funeral Dress || Listen || Watch

Belgium greats “Funeral Dress” have scorched the scene for over 15 years – starting with their first LP “Free Beer for the Punx” produced by Charley Harper of the “UK Subs” showed great musical abilities combining melodic rhythems with hardcore energy. After their first release- 4 more records spread out over a decade, “Songs bout Sex, Beer, and Punk Rock”, “Singalongpogpunk”, and “Punk Live and Loud”. They have toured with just about every famous punk band you can think of- which built a strong fan base through out Europe. Finally in 2001 they released their debut album in the U.S. “Party Political Bullshit”- to promote their debut album they toured with U.S. label mates “The Casualties” – then returning that same year to tour with “The Virus” and “The Unseen”. In 2002, “Funeral Dress” caught the ear of U.S. punk label “SOS” records. Upon signing “Funeral Dress” was then placed on the U.S.’s biggest punk tour since the “Sex Pistols” in 77’- with UK legends “The Exploited” and U.S. favorites “Total Chaos” confirming their status on the punk scene—worldwide!! The latest album “A Way of Life” is truly their best album to date, their new single “Party On” — a musical collaboration combining folk sounds with punk rock—clearly a unparalleled sound that has just entered the national top 50 at number 5 in their country and is the first to do so in their genre—more evidence of “Funeral Dress’s” unique quality of sound. Geared for U.S. radio is their single a remake of 80’s pop cover, “Down Under” by “Men at Work”- has brought the song into the new era—and is guaranteed to blow up the airways!! Now moving in position to take over the world- 2003 will be an amazing year for the band—- take some advice from their hit single and get ready to “Party On”!!! – SOS Records
